Sean, Andrew, Gary and Lynn took some time a while back to talk about Thor 2, Agents of SHIELD and the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past movie. As an end of the year bonus, we now present that conversation to you in the form of this minisode. Merry Christmas, everybody.

Saturday, December 14, 2013

Sean, Brooks, Greg, Andrew, Gary and Lynn continue their anniversary celebration by talking about the advance of entertainment technology, the culture of me, and the blu ray editions of Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, and The Hobbit. They also talk about Nightbreed: The Cabal Cut and Clive Barker's Hellraiser remake.

Sunday, December 8, 2013

Sean, Brooks, Greg, Andrew, Gary and Lynn reunite for this epic anniversary event! They mostly talk about themselves and the show, but they do manage to work in a little discussion about Wes Anderson, Dollhouse and Marvel's Agents of SHIELD. This is the first in what promises to be a series of self-indulgent conversations celebrating this TVAMD milestone.

Also, just to set the record straight, Sean does not think it's a good idea to enslave hot girls. It seemed like a funny thing to say, but out of context it sounds pretty terrible.

Saturday, November 23, 2013

Sean, Andrew, Gary and Lynn conclude their epic retrospective of the A Nightmare on Elm Street series by finally talking about Freddy's Nightmares. Sorry, but it was bound to happen sooner or later. But at least this is the end of it.

Sunday, November 17, 2013

In this penultimate chapter of TVAMD's epic Nightmare on Elm Street retrospective, Sean, Andrew, Gary and Lynn discuss the 2010 remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street and continue to threaten to discuss Freddy's Nightmares.

Saturday, November 2, 2013

Sean, Andrew, Gary and Lynn return to the A Nightmare on Elm Street series to examine Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare. There is also the looming threat of a Freddy's Nightmares retrospective, but let's jump off that bridge when we get to it.

Sunday, October 27, 2013

Sean, Greg, Andrew, Gary and Lynn take some time to talk about Insidious, Chapter 2. They also jump all over the map talking about random stuff like Gremlins, Critters, Ghoulies in toilets, nude scenes in movies, 1408, Disney and Pixar.

Saturday, October 26, 2013

Sean, Greg, Andrew, Gary and Lynn return to discuss A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 and 5. There is also some talk about Freddy song spin-offs like Dokken's Dream Warriors (from the A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 soundtrack) and the unlicensed DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince single, A Nightmare on My Street.

Sunday, August 25, 2013

In this precursor to our episode on The Conjuring, Sean, Greg, Lynn and Andrew talk about scary movies like Sinister, Insidious, and Saving Private Ryan (the conversation jumps around a lot). There's also some discussion of evil apes and monkey bites with a little time dedicated to the cosplay controversy of hot women who wear skimpy outfits even if they may not fully understand the back story of the character they are currently sexying. Our position on this very serious issue may just shock you.

THE FOLLOWING IS BASED ON A TRUE STORY... Did I ever tell you about the time I died? Yeah, probably not. That's a good setup for a story though, right? I have told this story before. For the sake of those involved I omitted some of the more bizarre elements, but as the years have gone by I have come to realize that the full details must be made known. What if the unexplained incident that occurred that St. Patrick's Day in downtown Savannah were to be repeated elsewhere? It's irresponsible to withhold what little I know of it, especially in light of the fact that no one else seems to remember. This is the story of how all Hell broke loose one night in Savannah, how the end of the world was very nearly the result of it, and how I was put in a position to stop it just by deciding to stay home.

In this installment of "Apocalypse Party" by Sean Gilbert, difficult questions are asked and answered and argued about, such as which section of a human centipede would you rather be?

Saturday, August 24, 2013

Sean and Andrew talk about the Conjuring and other James Wan films like Insidious. They also talk about the real-life Warrens and the true story of the demon-possessed doll Annabelle. Then they get scared like little girls and recount some of their own paranormal experiences.

Wednesday, August 14, 2013

Sean, Greg, Lynn and Andrew pay tribute to the New Doctor Who. And giant robots, and Aaron Sorkin, and Game of Thrones, and Star Wars and Star Trek, and tipping waitresses, Lando Calrissian and DragonCon, drop bears, cargo pants, and didgeridoos. Just another regular show, folks...

In what will certainly be a series of episodes focusing on Dr. Who's 50th Anniversary, Sean, Lynn, and Andrew take some time to recap the finale of the latest series of Dr. Who. They also talk about Sharknado, get Lynn's thoughts on Game of Thrones and there is a surprise appearance by VRON! Less surprising, now that I just told you about it, but does anybody really read these episode blurbs?

Saturday, July 27, 2013

Sean, Greg and Andrew return to finish their discussion of Superman. They talk about Superman's quest for peace as he tries to rid the world of nuclear weapons like his atomic hair clone. They also talk about the Superman movies that never happened. Written by Kevin Smith? Directed by Tim Burton? Starring Nicholas Cage? Or Sean Penn? Fighting Brainiac and giant spiders over the fate of the bottled city of Kandor? Those are a few of the things that could have been a part of a Superman movie before Superman Returns and Man of Steel hit the screens.

Sunday, July 7, 2013

Sean, Greg and Andrew begin their long talked about retrospective of the Christopher Reeve Superman movies. They discuss how Richard Donner's vision eventually eroded into what became Superman 2 and led to Superman 3, Bryan's Singer's effort to pay homage to Donner in Superman Returns, the fast-paced landscape of movie marketing in today's world as opposed to when Superman: the Movie was released in 1978 and, yes, how all of this led up to Man of Steel.

Saturday, July 6, 2013

Sean, Greg and Andrew talk about World War Z and This is the End as a study of comparative apocalypse and survival strategy. There's also some talk about Star Wars, Game of Thrones and Superman, so have a drink ready.

Saturday, June 29, 2013

Sean, Greg and Andrew finish their discussion of Man of Steel, comparing it to success stories like Batman Begins and weighing the relative merits of a reboot over an homage like Superman Returns. There is also a little bit of talk about the Avengers, the upcoming Agents of SHIELD series, After Earth and Oblivion, with a little more wild speculation and constructive advice concerning the Batman and Justice League franchises.

Sunday, June 23, 2013

Sean, Greg and Andrew talk about Man of Steel, the fanboy reaction, the character arc and sequel positioning, what it could mean for the Justice League and future DC franchises, and what it could mean specifically for the return of Batman.

"S" is for "Spoiler", by the way. We talk about the movie plot and specific story elements, so you might want to watch the movie before listening.

Saturday, June 22, 2013

Mhysa - Sean and Andrew wrap up their analysis of Game of Thrones Season 3 by contemplating Arya's future with the Hound, John's destiny to defend the wall from the white walkers, and how long it will take for dragons to cross the sea.

Saturday, June 8, 2013

"The Rains of Castamere" - Sean and Andrew try to recover from the catastrophic events of the latest episode of Game of Thrones, dissecting the fate of the Starks and what the future may hold for them.

Sean, Greg and Andrew discuss Iron Man 3, plus there is a little "Greg on the Throne", where Greg weighs in on the current season of Game of Thrones. They also talk a little bit about the latest season of Doctor Who.

And if you're playing the TVAMD drinking game, you now have to take a drink any time they talk about Game of Thrones outside of the TV on the Throne podcast.

Monday, May 27, 2013

Sean and Andrew reflect on the year in TV, comparing the plot and character development of the latest season of The Walking Dead to more successful shows like Game of Thrones and the short-lived Firefly. How did Firefly manage to show so much of the characters and story in such a short amount of time, when other shows never seem to understand where the story should be headed? And does it all trace back to the Greedo Effect? Did Lucas inadvertently create a generation of hack writers and hardcore heroes by stripping that one scene in Star Wars of its moral ambiguities?

Sunday, May 26, 2013

To tease the upcoming episodes of TV Ate My Dinner, Sean, Lynn and Andrew talk about Star Trek, Iron Man, World War Z, Pacific Rim, The World's End and the Perks of Being a Wallflower. You know, all the summer blockbusters.

Saturday, May 25, 2013

Second Sons: Sean, Andrew and Lynn talk about setup and follow-through in the latest episode of Game of Thrones, as well as the power of royal blood, and the dangers of having a leech burned in your name.

Wednesday, May 22, 2013

The Bear and the Maiden Fair: Sean and Andrew discuss ass and strategy in the seventh episode of Season Three. The characters in this episode are mostly torn between duty and desire, forced to choose between the loyalties they've been bred for and the personal allegiances they've chosen. Plus someone fights a bear.

Tuesday, May 7, 2013

Sean, Gary and Andrew conclude their discussion on the Evil Dead remake, with a little talk about big movies like Battleship and small movies like Insidious. They even talk a little Star Wars, so get ready to take a shot.

Kissed By Fire: Sean and Andrew talk about religious allegories in Game of Thrones, from Old Testament to New and the influences of classical mythology. There is also more discussion on the brutality of war, honor vs. morality, and the importance of pacing in a story, with a little talk about wildling sex grottos, trial by fire and babies in jars.

Sunday, April 28, 2013

And Now His Watch Is Ended: Sean, Lynn and Andrew talk about misperceptions of power and loyalty in the latest episode of Game of Thrones. There is some speculation as to where the intrigues of this season are headed and a comparison between the failing philosophies of the Night's Watch and the Jedi Knights. It was only a matter of time until we starting making Star Wars comparisons, folks...

Saturday, April 20, 2013

Walk of Punishment: Sean, Andrew and Gary dissect the latest Game of Thrones episode. The brutality of war and the questionable ethics of the nobility that starts wars is a big focus of the discussion, but it quickly degenerates into an awkward examination of how prominently the threat of rape factors into this episode and the show in general.
